The main building was built in 1931 and belonged to Ahmad Amir Ahmadi, the lieutenant general of Reza Shah, and then to his wife, Turan Mohajer Eslami. Its repair was started in 2005 with green space and landscaping, and it was opened as a museum that year.

Models of Iranian historical buildings
During the Pahlavi era in the 1960s, for the festival named the "2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire", models of some of the most famous historical Iranian buildings were ordered from Italian artisans. The models were constructed of concrete, with resin and polyester used to decorate their windows. Oil paints were used for painting the models of the Hasht Behesht, Chehel Sotoun and Shams-ol-Emareh buildings. These models of Iranian historical monuments further include Hasht Behesht, Chehel Sotoun, Gonbad-e Ghabus, Shams-ol-Emareh, Si-o-se-pol bridge of Isfahan, Mahyar Caravansary, Fin garden of Kashan, Azadi tower, Milad tower, Tomb of Danial, Soltanieh Dome, and St. Thaddeus Monastery.
